This is because all pylab/pyplot functions include a draw_if_interactive. They are intended for interactive use, not for programmed animation. For that you should use the OO interface. Have you worked through the animation examples? http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/index.html Mpl is not particularly fast, and some operations like contouring are inherently slow, so unless the fields you are contouring are quite simple you may run into performance problems. For animation of contours, you normally want to have contours at fixed intervals, so I expect you will want to specify those contour levels as an argument to the contour and contourf functions (or Axes methods, when you switch to an OO style.) That will allow drawing the colorbar only once.
